AVANT | State of Disruption | 1 The Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, famously said, “The only constant in life is change.” In 2017, noted futurist and entrepreneur Peter Diamandis amended that statement for our times: “The only constant is change, 1 and the rate of change is increasing.” In an enterprise climate where disruption is the norm, businesses live or die by their ability to meet constantly evolving conditions.
